To: metmom
The question was about if I objected to teacher led prayer and Koran reading in schools, not about teaching Islam in public schools. That's misrepresenting what I said, IOW, you lied about what I said.

No, what I did was to equate "having teachers lead in Koran reading and prayer during school hours" with "teaching Islam (the religious part)." I guess you see a significant difference between those two things, but I think it's a little much to accuse me of lying because of it, especially when I was complimenting you on your consistency. So, fine:

At least your position is consistent: if a school board in a majority-Islamic area voted to have teachers lead Koran readings and Muslim prayers in the public schools during school hours, you'd accept it as the price of freedom of religion.

Allowing prayer and reading of some religions scripture is not the same thing as teaching it.

Only someone with an agenda to discredit someone else would equate the two.

Twist it as you will. That’s not surprising from a frevo.

How do you get from ID to proselytizing Islam?

Do all the equating you want but leave that on your side of the fence.

Metmom has never advocated teaching Islam in the public schools, so dont distort her position to suggest that she has or would tolerate it when she has stated that its not so.

All the evolutionists have is their strawmen, false charges, etc. etc.

Boring ha ha not very logical.
